Special Tribunal for Lebanon spokesman Marten Youssef announced on Tuesday he is stepping down from his post for personal reasons, reported the National News Agency.
He told the agency that his resignation will not affect the functioning of the tribunal that is looking into the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
“No resignation from the STL will affect its work and it will carry on at the same rate with or without me,” he added.
He revealed that he will be traveling to Canada to set up his own company and that he will spend the upcoming weeks in Beirut.
Youssef began work at the STL three-and-a-half years ago.
